Default My New Bikes

After my off on the SV a couple of weeks ago I bought this.







needed an MOT so I got that done then decided it wasn't really what I wanted so I have now got this too.







As the SV is still waiting to be assessed by the insurance company I now have 3 bikes here.

am just being greedy?

That's a J or K model, isn't it. I can never tell the difference between the two. It looks to be in nice condition though.

Its a K model, the motor is sound enough. It runs lovely. The faring has some damage but for the age I reckon its pretty sweet.

Fairing looks ok for the year, it's the wheels that look like they've suffered a bit, but easily sorted. Those slabbies are becoming quite collectable now. I'm breaking a 1990 L model if you need anything that's useable.

Cheers, I'll bear that in mind. I have just got a mirror and bar end. Not sure what I'll do with the wheels yet. Prob strip and repaint.

Only one thing wrong with that GSXR... It's still got the wrong engine in it And for some reason it's hidden behind a load of plastic.

I'd have one of those, tried one, it felt rather rapid, and actually made the SV feel quite sweet handling!
